Hosted by Brian Tant, the BubbaTanicals Podcast seeks to inform and entertain. It leaves no stone unturned on the subject of operating a small farm and homestead. Nothing is taboo when it comes to Brian's irreverent narrative on nearly everything from crafts to chickens, fencing to farmers markets, gardening to goats, horses to home remedies, beekeeping, and everything in between.

I somehow talk Laura into doing another show where we throw out some updates on the dog, seed starting, and the bees. We take some great feedback, including an actual voicemail! We finally wrap the show up by reading some of the better ads out of the market bulletin.

Winter Break
I love the winter.  Love it.  Not only because it’s not as hot as summer, but it’s gives us a chance to catch our breath and enjoy some of our labors from the previous months.  The bees are all huddled up in their hives.  The chickens have finally started laying.  Things are quiet on the farm and we have a chance to sit back and contemplate.Okay enough contemplating.  Time to get to work.  There are a few things I need to get done before spring.  I have to scrape, sand, and paint 15 or so deep and honey supers.  I have to make 15 bottom boards (I’m going to try to do the ones that catch small hive beetle.  And I have to build 15 more hive tops.  Then there’s putting togeter 150 frames for the brood chamber.  Then 150 more for the honey supers.  Never mind the hive stands and such.  And that’s just for the bees!

There’s the horse fencing that needs to be finished too.  Then the soaps, lip balms (new products coming soon), and candles for next year!

It sounds like alot of work, but loving it makes it more rewarding than you might think at first.

This lifestyle is not for everyone, but I’m certainly glad it’s for me.
